    TolleUhr     Version 1.11      Authors: Matthias Fleischer 1993

    Note: There is a problem I cannot figure out. When a new minute
          has to be drawn the system seems to hang for a moment. Best
          to see if you play MegaBall or Ladder ( great game! ). There
          you can notice that play things stop moveing a moment. This
          happens with the c and assembler version. Who can help ??

****************************************************************************

 I looked for a nice clock to use with the workbench. Then there came
 TolleUhr and it was really a 'tolle' clock (at least for me)! But one
 thing I didnt like these ugly menus with kick3.0+. The original author
 placed this program in the public domain so here is a slightly changed
 version. Nothing fundamental has been changed. 
 Furthermore you can find an assembler version of 'TolleUhr'. This
 version is localized ( currently only german ;) ), has newlookmenus and
 is pure, you can make it resident. The other main difference is the fact
 that all windows are controled in the main loop. That means the second
 hand moves even if you display the about requester, change a colour or
 set the alarm time. All windows will be discarded if you close the main
 window. One menu option has been added: 'Close Gadget'. When I played
 with the original program I often closed the clock trying to move the
 window on the screen. With this menu entry you can enable/disable the
 close gadget. Old configurations can be used with the assembler version.
 The other way requires some editing in the tooltypes. The assembler
 version saves PATTERN and DRAWPENS with a leading '0x' instead of
 only 'x'. So remove the zero before the x and it works.
 The compiled programs can be found in the c drawer. Enjoy!

 This is yet another Workbench-Clock-Utility ???!!?! :-(

 OK, but this one looks really nice ;-) (try it out - if you don't like it -
 throw it away (or let it still stay on harddisk: only 20K anyway))

 The functionality in short:
   -Nice outfit
   -CLI & Workbench support
   -mini-menu
   -optional second hand
   -custom background-pattern
   -and more

 Tooltypes:

 TOP       - Number of Pixels in top of the window
 LEFT      - Number of Pixels left of the window
 WIDTH     - Width of the window in pixels
 HEIGHT    - Height of the window in pixels
 SECONDS   - 1: seconds on 0: seconds off
 PATTERN   - 0000-3333
 OVAL      - 1: oval face 0: rectangle
 SHADOW    - 1: shadow on 0: shadow off
 SHOWFACE  - 0: show minute marks 4: show no marks at all
 HANDTYPE  - 0: line 1: triangle 2: rhombus 2: rectangle
 HANDWIDTH - 0: very thin 4: very thick
 DRAWPENS  - 00000000000000-33333333333333
 BORDERTYPE- 0 no border 5 full border
 CHIME     - 0 no chime 4 full functioning chime
 PUBSCREEN - Name of public screen
 TASKPRI   - Priority of the clock-task (_should_ be between -5 and 5)

 The background-pattern:

 It is set by a decimal number of 4 digits (abcd) and gives a background-
 pattern that looks like this:

  abababababab  For example: 0110 gives dark grey
  cdcdcdcdcdcd               0220 gives light grey
  abababababab               0123 looks a bit like jeans-style
  cdcdcdcdcdcd

 numbers greater than nine are set as: xaabbccdd (hex)

 The drawpens:

 abcdefghijklmn
 a color for second hand
 b color for minute hand
 c color for minute hand outline
 d color for hour hand
 e color for hour hand outline
 f color for shadow
 g color for 12'o clock mark
 h color for quarters
 i color for hour marks
 j color for minute marks
 k border color 0
 l border color 1
 m border color 2
 n border color 3

 You also can use xaabbccddeeffgghhiijjkkllmmnn.

 CLI-commands:

 TOP/N,LEFT/N,WIDTH/N,HEIGHT/N,SECONDS/S,PATTERN/K,OVAL/S,SHADOW/S,
 SHOWFACE/N,HANDTYPE/N,HANDWIDTH/N,DRAWPENS/K,BORDERTYPE/N,CHIME/N,
 PUBSCREEN/K,TASKPRI/N:

 -all the same.

 Menus:

 You can set anything but pubscreens and taskpriority from menus and save it to
 the tooltypes field with the `Save prefs' menu.
 There's also an alarm-function from menus.

 Gadgets:

 There is a invisible close-gadget in the upper left corner of the window,
 a (also invisible) depth-gadget in the upper right, a sizing-gadget in the
 lower right corner and a drag-gadget in the middle of the window.

 The legal stuff:
 If you use this program, you use it at your own risk - there is absolutely
 no warranty for any damage forced by this program (and by no means for wild
 attacks of envious non-amiga-users).
 This program is public-domain, that means you can copy, modify or use it as
 long as you wish and you needn't pay anything.
 But: It must be absolutely clear at any time if and by what person this
      program was modified - there must be a FULL list of ALL the authors
      who made ANYTHING about this program at least in the source code
      and also in any about-requesters.
 (I don't want to be blamed of any errors somebody else made than me.)
